it was voter fraud that got obama elected. and there's proof of it because there's the lady in ohio that claims she voted twice and how many thousands of democrats have voted twice? guest: well, the president won reelection. sadly from the republican point of view it really wasn't close. the other sort of wakeup call for the republican party is that even though the republicans maintain the majority in the house of representatives, with 233 votes, it's the first time that we've been in the majority where more americans voted for a democrat to represent them in the congress in terms of gross vote totals across the country than for republicans. so it basically comes down to the fact that the districts have been constructed in such a way that it permitted the republican party to maintain their majority. that needs to be a wake up call. and again, with all due respect to the voter fraud, any time somebody loses, somebody crice foul. and -- cries foul. and we need to get past it. the president of the united states is the president o

president obama is a left of center politician. the republican party is a right of center political party. there will be natural differences that exist. that is what we are watching. this is a policy debate. it is frustrating, at moments, clearly, but that is the truth. host: a question from twitter -- host: what do you think about the odds -? guest: i think his odds are a little bit different. i think democratic chances are a lot better in 2014, particularly the republicans continue to be paved the way they are. gary raises a good point about what the american public wants. i do not know that they want divided government that leads to gridlock. i think what i would prefer to the parties in washington that have a different view, as david points out, and maybe one view is a little left of center, and one is right of center, and what they would like is to get the two parties together and say, you know what? we will not get everything we want every single time. we will compromise. we'll come to the middle. we will give up some things
